Montre Restaurant.

Diane from Ōmokoroa

Hi all,
Does anyone know what type of shop, if any, is going in where Montre was in Omokoroa.
It has been empty for a while now, and I for one would love a roast takeaway type shop.
We had one in Auckland when we lived there, and it was great to be able to get a nice roast tea all made for you!!!
The closest one to here at present is in Bethlehem ,a bit fat to go and try to keep it hot until you get home.
I wondered about a coffee type cafe, but there is one going in the new block being built , so maybe that wouldn't do so well.
But with our retirement village here as well as a lot of new homes, the area is growing so much, I think a roast shop would do well there.
Guess we will just have to wait and see, watch this space!!!!!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
